Gary, In November last year, I addresed a Leftist Youth Festival in
South India's Hindu Holy City of Tirupathi. A mathematics Professor, Com.
Nagaraju and his students had presented a balle on exploitation in the name of
God. It was very impressive. I was thinking about it for a long time. Recently,
when I went back to Tirupathi City, I asked Com. Nagaraju to compose a balle,
based on Gorky's story, "Danko's Heart". Are you aware of any videos of a balle
or animation based on this story. It will be helpful for them.Vijaya Kumar Marla

Yes, the videos were available. Extraordinary especially the snake dance one.
I was interested in the presence of the male gaze as well of course in the
dnance. the latter brought to mind these lines from Yeats
Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
The lines have always been obscure to me, until I once watched a dance workshop
performed by the Bangarra Aboriginal Dance troupe. The dancers were working
with Indigenous adolescent boys and girls and where they succeeded most you
could not tell the dancer from the dance. Perfect art seems effortless or as
you might say born out of grace.

Sometime back, on a lazy evening my childhood friend asked me "What is grace"?I
said it has nothing to do with beauty, but the way a person conducts
himself/herself in daily life. I could recall so many people who had that
quality. Here is one song from an old Urdu film, "Anupama". Sharmila Tagore,
the leading lady of the film exudes natural grace.Kuchh Dil Ne Kaha -

There is another video, from the 1965 film, Dev Anand's 'The Guide', in which
there is a traditional snake dance. Waheeda Rehaman, the heroine, effortlessly
shows how the character in the film is seeking perfection in dance, her life's
passion.Snake Dance - Waheeda Rehman - Dev Anand - Guide - S.D. Burman -
